  • Emmett_OW2 Emmett (Average OW2 Mauga Enjoyer) (@Emmett_OW2) reported

    @DylanChaseOW yh the ddossers are just a bunch of morons with 0 brainsells, i don't blame blizzard for the ddos attacks tbh, and i feel bad for the Overwatch team about the ddos attack as well as the bugs in the game itself😔😔😔

  • _Beccy_Boo Beccy Bee 🍯 COMMISSIONS OPEN (@_Beccy_Boo) reported

    @fel_n_disorder @PlayOverwatch I had this issue before. It got solved by itself the day after. It seems to be one of the overwatch 2 launch bugs

  • no_funeral No Funeral (@no_funeral) reported

    @DanielFenner My current issue is that a typical legendary for a hero now costs $19 USD. That's a truly ludicrous amount considering how many there are in game from Overwatch 1. There needs to be some way to earn credits that apply to non-Battle Pass purchases at a faster rate than 60/week.

  • ColeKinghorn Cole Kinghorn (@ColeKinghorn) reported

    Went 7-1 on my Overwatch 2 tank placement generally performing really well in the games and got placed Bronze 5, the lowest rank in the game. Apparently, this is a common issue. That's an easy uninstall for me until this is fixed. Goodbye Overwatch!

  • TheClintor Toris (@TheClintor) reported from Denton, Texas

    I never played much of #Overwatch and I'm debating trying out #Overwatch2 but all the issues really are making me skeptical.

  • cabul247 Rodney Hall (@cabul247) reported

    @VGC_News Same issue with overwatch 2 it’s soo annoying like whyyy

  • Feruna5 Just Feruna (@Feruna5) reported

    @Baz_the_only @Inurooshi Overwatch,league, and any other team based game are also inherently social and have the exact same issue. WoW has its toxicety yes but to call it THE most toxic game is quiet unfair immo. Especially since in an MMO you can moderate the people you come into contact regularly>

  • DigiDemii 🎃 DEMI 🍂 | 🎮 FFXII (@DigiDemii) reported

    Has anyone on PS4 logged into Overwatch 2 and found that their account was reset? If so, how do you fix that? 😭

  • scuwuril suspekttreez (@scuwuril) reported

    @BlizzardCS so my friend is trying to play overwatch 2 however her phone number is somehow associated with an account her friend used on her PlayStation 4 years ago which she can not access. Is there a fix for this or is she just unable to play your game forever?

  • AntonLFG 🎙 Anton 🎥 (@AntonLFG) reported

    @resleyGG but its overwatch so less of a problem

  • ossoklose osso (@ossoklose) reported

    @c0ughdrop5 @Kephrii from what I understand, overwatch is being dumb on their side I was playing on 380 ping yesterday with no jitter, so some servers are bad, not your issue, it's overwatch

  • BeastGamerKuma 🐺🎃Beastgamerkuma🎃🐺 (@BeastGamerKuma) reported

    Characters were locked last night on Overwatch 2, hopefully, it gets a fix today. It's still a work in progress, but having fun just the same. = Beast Out -

  • trooper_boss Boss trooper (@trooper_boss) reported

    @G0rl0ck @Westbrook____ @OWAnonymous_ It really doesn’t. If you’re playing consistently you can get enough for 1 skin in like 3-4 weeks. That’s about a month. If you get 60 overwatch coins a week it would take 31 weeks to get enough coins for a legendary skin. Do you not see the problem? That’s about 7 months for ONE

  • sinistersamura1 Sinister Samurai (@sinistersamura1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Is the battlepass achievements not working? Im level 30 on the pass and havent got the achievements for them or are they from overwatch 1?

  • fizoto 🌱 Phizoto 🦑🐙 (@fizoto) reported

    Overwatch 2 temporarily removing Bastion and Torbjorn from the game to fix bugs? Who happen to be two of my mains? I’d feel personally attacked if I still played.

  • Felix09863395 Felix (@Felix09863395) reported

    Hi there, is there still anybody like me who can't log in in overwatch 2 due to a unexpected server error? And if I want to play on console instead I also can't login because of error code lc-208... #Overwatch2 #OW2

  • NRDillow Nick Dillow (@NRDillow) reported

    @icklenellierose Yeah, they shut all the overwatch 1 servers down right before 2 came out then everyone’s 1 file was updated to become 2. And then 2 has had massive server issues for the whole first week it’s been out

  • S0ulPriv 🎃Ghostie (Luigi Lover) 🎃 (commissions open 2/5) (@S0ulPriv) reported

    Am I the only one having an issue with Overwatch rn?

  • n00bywarrior None of My Biases are Safe (@n00bywarrior) reported

    @imAVRL @TempoZP the problem is that Overwatch permanently ****** themselves. they are transitioning a game into a new business model and that almost NEVER goes over well with the playerbase, even in cases where it is necessary or improves the game (Overwatch is a yes to both of these imo)

  • Lynn8Kate ⚡️𝐱𝐌𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐞⚡️ (@Lynn8Kate) reported

    I’m getting tired of being kicked out of games in overwatch. I just got kicked out of a comp game. It gave me no errors, the whole app closed out then gave me an error when I reopened the game :/

  • ccmizu ry (@ccmizu) reported

    @nonameuzi @eyeluding @goopiow as a flex healer, in overwatch 2 hes been a bit more of a issue, getting picks on squishies or even just pressuring their team seems to be a bit easier with him. close combat with him constantly as a healer is annoying and with a horrible team he can just ruin us from flanking

  • hollymars04 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝙼𝚢𝚎𝚛𝚜 🥀🖤🌙 (@hollymars04) reported

    I think I have a problem, I haven’t played any other game in ages other than overwatch 💀

  • DigitalJordon Oz (@DigitalJordon) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN My PS and battlenet account have been linked since before Overwatch 2. I haven't been able to play one game yet and none of the server fixes have worked for my. I keep getting login error LC-208

  • Jierace2004 Jonathon Ierace (@Jierace2004) reported

    @PxppyX_X @MassifireX32 @PlayOverwatch i’ve had this issue since the day overwatch 2 came out. i first logged into the wrong account, didn’t play a single game, logged into my proper account and haven’t been able to get in since

  • craig_camsey Craig Camsey (@craig_camsey) reported

    @PlayOverwatch when will overwatch 2 actually be playable on ps5. Every match, all heroes endlessly lag and teleport across the map, so I have to guess every single shot and movement. Is this down to DDOS? The game servers? I know it isnt my internet, so faqs about connection, no

  • AstroStardustqt Astro ✨ (@AstroStardustqt) reported

    You know how everyone jokes that Apex they want to make everyone broken so no one seems OP? Well imagine that, but x100. That's Overwatch rn lmfao

  • DailyDreg 💀 Undead Dreg 💀 (@DailyDreg) reported

    @Otaku_AngeI Overwatch is a live service game so the game from 2016 no longer exists, even if you removed all the updates like maps and characters balancing alone makes it play really differently

  • wormcup wormcup (@wormcup) reported

    @maxxyissogay i have not had a single problem with overwatch 2 L
